The Biggest Loser Recap: Recap #39 - Tuesday 20th March - The Outsiders enter the house!

  • Melissa · 2 years ago
    Im starting to dislike these 2 newbies more than Munnalita and Courtney. especially Kimberlie.

    Out of the 'original' contestants, they couldn't do what the intruders have done on the outside, or they would have hired a trainer and dietician and done it. Especially those who see mars bars in every shop, cafe, petrol station, supermarket.......

    They seem ok to me, but what about Kim's faux-tummy-boobies!! I think Courtney is jealous of Chris' pert little man-boobies.
  • Mythor · 2 years ago
    I don't mind them yet. Like Chris more than Kimberley but it's a bit too soon for me to judge them yet. Really need to see how they handle a challenge or two I think!

    The Outsiders are just like the Insiders. I think if the Insiders had been given the Outsider chance instead, all of them bar Sarah could have done it that way... And possibly Sarah may actually have done better in that environment instead.

    Lmao, she obviously hasnt lost more than the 8kg,
    either that or they are just too fucking disgusted
    coz they've shown Alex, Sam, Kelly and Michael since than but not her.

    Speaking of outside, Munalita will gain wait once she gets home,
    similar to your other post; once she sees mars bars everything she learnt at the house will have gone out of the window, i can imagine that in a few years she'll be back to 130kg or whatever she was at the start

    ok that was a bit stupid, why didnt i just hit reply to comment...

    I havent seen the whole show, but i did see Courtney giving chris daggers when he was weighing in.

    I am starting to wonder why I am bothering to watch this anymore, it's so bloomin frustrating! If damien and laura get booted this week just because the new ones got immunity i'll be spewing and probably never turn it on again.
  • Mythor · 2 years ago
    Yes if they're the victims of it I'll be very disappointed. Pati/Marty would leave me a little sad but not overly so. I want Courtney and Munnalita gone anyway. But if it happens due to immunity and not because the newbies do well, I'll be very annoyed.
  • susanjacobs · 2 years ago
    Hey Myth, I have no idea which one is right, but on her weight-in, her name was spelt "Kimberlie". I like your spelling better.

    Okay, this is just shit. Outsiders? WTF? It was bad enough last year when the eliminated people got a chance to get back in. This just sucks. I hope they lose their immunity. Not because I want them gone, but it just isn't fair.

    Do the producers think TBL is BB? I don't get it. Yeah, screw with their heads that is all part of the game. Fairness should be there too, and quite frankly, this isn't fair.

    I like Kimberlie's smile though. It is a genuine, from-the-soul smile.
  • Amy · 2 years ago
    The facial expressions of the Insiders last night was just about the best thing I've seen all season - particularly Courtney's eye-roll at Marty being the biggest loser so far :D

    I hope the newbies lose their immunity on the walk, I really do. It's so shit for the others. I've heard so many rumours that Munnalita is in the top 4, it makes me wonder which of the good ones will get kicked out instead :(
  • Mythor · 2 years ago
    I'm going to have to check since it's spelt two ways on the official site as well. *grumbles*

    At least with the eliminated people it was a competition between them though. This is just two people being injected without ever having to face off against anyone. It's not right.
    I think they're trying to inject some BB-type elements to try and lift the ratings, rather than trying to improve the quality of the show by, say, not having 5 in 20 minutes be repeats of earlier events... :-\
  • Mythor · 2 years ago
    Yep, it's Kimberlie. My, what retarded parents she has!
    Will fix it now, thanks for making me check. :)
  • Mythor · 2 years ago
    Yes, I've also heard it rumoured that Courtney makes it, which only leaves two spots for potentially cool people. Hopefully the rumourmongers are wrong though! :)

    Your link to the official biggest loser site doesn't work (google ad). Not sure if it's my computer or not, though I could click on the Oprah tea one and it worked
    Cheers
  • Mythor · 2 years ago
    The Google ads aren't under my direct control in that fashion. Google displays what Google wants to display so if the link is broken it's the fault of whoever is running that Google ad. I wouldn't've thought the official site would be buying Google ads though.
    Thanks for letting me know, but yeah, nothing I can do about it. I only have the ads on here to try and cover some of the costs involved in running my site, they're all selected automatically based on page contents and so forth. :)

    if pati, courtney and munnalita room together (as shown on the show) and kimberlie, marty, damien and chris are together, does that mean poor laura is left to room by herself?
  • carly the crocodile · 2 years ago
    can i just point out, that if the outsiders hadn't been brought in, then one of the insider duos would be going home next week anyway?

    since they have been brought in, i think it's only fair that they get immunity for one week, since it's otherwise a foregone conclusion that they'll be going home if they fall below the yellow line.

    they're big enough sooks in the house, without everyone here sooking as well.

    giving the outsiders immunity is far from the most unfair thing that's happened. the original contestants themselves have inflicted the most unfair eliminations: alex, marty, maybe michael and maybe kelly - and let's not forget pieta, although her elimination was a big brother style twist, so not really the contestants' fault.
  • Mythor · 2 years ago
    The newbies could've done like all the other contestants though and just not fallen below the yellow line.

    It's definitely not the most unfair thing that's happened, since the introduction of the Outsiders was more unfair than them being given immunity, but basically the whole thing pretty much stinks.

    Michael and Kelly's evictions weren't unfair - they were trying to play the game to their own ends and their teammates didn't like it. No one but themselves to blame for it!
    P'eta's elimination was indeed very unfair, but none of it means that the introduction of the Outsiders is somehow okay because there's been worse things inflicted on them. That's like having someone rock up one day and shoot one of the Fatties dead, then expecting everyone to be happy when the day after they only have someone come around and chop all their right hands off. It might be a lesser offense, but it still ain't right!
  • carly the crocodile · 2 years ago
    ahh, stop your sooking...

    i guess if the outsiders stay above the yellow line, then their immunity won't make any difference. and they can lose their immunity anyway, if they come last in the challenge, maybe if some little thing goes wrong for them. so all hope is not lost for all you sooks out there, and in there.

    i was away from the tv during the two weeks that kelly and michael got evicted. from what i've read, it sounded like kelly sort of deserved it, but it sounded like michael was just tarred with the same brush.
  • Mythor · 2 years ago
    It's not "sooking" to suggest the introduction of outsiders is unfair on the people who've been there since the beginning, especially when coupled with an automatic immunity from elimination in the first week when they weren't made to earn it... and then to get to go on The Walk when they didn't earn immunity?

    Do you honestly think it's fair to introduce new people this late in the game?

    It's a legitimate complaint about the manner in which the game is being run this year.
    If you think this shit is fine, good for you. Keep referring to it as "sooking" though and your comments are going walkies.
  • carly the crocodile · 2 years ago
    maybe if they had have had extra outsiders training under the commando and eliminated all but two of them, then it would be more fair/less unfair. but on the other hand, under those conditions, the two outsiders who make it would likely be stronger than the ones we have now, and probably more cohesive as a team too, which this pair are not. the best two out of several outsiders would be a formidable force compared to the ones they actually got. so maybe the way the producers actually did it gives the original six the best chance after all.

    but i still don't think it's unfair. i find kimberlie's defense compelling, from tv week: "there's a word that gets thrown around a lot in that house and it's 'deserve'. everyone thinks they 'deserve' something more than everyone else, when in the end it's luck. we were all lucky to be picked out of 10,000 people. no one 'deserves' something more than someone else because they've spend an extra week living in a mansion".

    which of the final six can honestly say that they would not have taken the opportunity to be outsiders, had they missed out on a spot in the house? certainly not the same ones who complain the most, i bet.
